Publishing to from GED to HTML

[Dave T]

Does anyone know of a program that can convert from GED and uatomatically
create a Web site. I have relatives in Australia who want to see the data I
have collected. The best I have been able to manage so far is to publish
reports of descendants, I would be looking to publish something more
interactive, which allows the user to move from parent to child & vice
versa. I could do it manually, but with 4000 or so names & related details
to publish this would be very time consuming!

Any suggestions will be gratefully received
Dave

Hello Dave,

I have used a program called GreatFamily, to create my web-pages.

I tested quite a number of different programs, but didn´t like the look of
the output from them.

GreatFamily doesn´t produce the pages directly from GED, but it´s only to
import the GED, and then generate the web-pages. You can see how it looks
like on my home-page: http://www.kurres.se and choose "Släktstartsida".

(As a bonus, you can also see me, twice)

PAF is free and has this feature, as does Legacy which is also free. Export from
whatever you're using, import to the other, and there you go.

Google "GED2HTML" - it does exactly what you want.

I'm afraid that's a product of the same person who produced Gendex, the
topic of another current thread, and is just as dead. My copy was
purchased years ago and I still like it and use it, but new users are
out of luck.

Andy,

The other recommendations are all good, but here's the one I
personally like best: GED2WWW, available at
http://www.lesandchris.com/ged2www/

I used it once or twice before SECOND SITE for TMG came out. Since then I've
never used it again

It doesn't look to me like GED2HTML is "dead." Back when Gendex itself was about

to die, the author said that he was moving his program, but not the index, to
another site with a different name. The current GED2HTML page is here:

<http://www.starkeffect.com/ged2html/>

I too have had a registered version of this program for some time, though I
don't use it as much as I used to. But you can still get a demo from the address
above if you don't mind clicking through a few more pages. The installation
program is in a Zip archive that runs about 450Kb.

The registered & paid for version I use for a certain website displays:
HTML created by GED2HTML v3.5e-WIN95 (Sep 26 1998) on 12/26/03 03:39:13 .
which contains a clickable link.
You're right about the above and I was misled because clicking the one I just
mentioned takes me to:
http://www.gendex.com/ged2html/
which is a blank do-nothing page instead of a re-direct.

The link is generated according to the following code in the output template
ged2html.g2h:

define page_footer
{
print "<P><FONT size=-1><I>HTML generated by <a
href=\"http://www.gendex.com/ged2html/\">" VERSION "</a>" ,
print " on " TODAY " GMT.</I></FONT><HR>" ;
}

(page_footer includes other links, but for my own templates I've tweaked those
beyond recognition <g>)

It's a simple thing just to open the template in a text editor, paste the new
address into the place where the old one is, save it, and regenerate your pages.
Just be sure to leave the backslashes (\) in place. The backslash is an escape
character that tells the HTML generator to place a quotation mark in the "print"
line.

And thanks for reminding me. I should have done this months ago.

Hi Listers

Dave and Dale wrote ....

Try GedViewer you can read a GEDCOM, or PAF or TMG or FTM or Legacy file and
make a self viewing GEDCOM file for opening by anyone you wish to send to -
also you can give the person permission to extract the actual GEDCOM file or
not as the case way be. you can view the file as a pedigree chart or list
search and select info etc ..... very useful prog.

regards

Bill

Dave,

I use GEDPAGE and like the results.

My family data is in FTM v8, and I dump a gedcom, run it through
GEDPrivy to remove the birthdates of living relatives, and then create
the HTML with GEDPAGE.

The results of this can be found at:
http://users.frii.com/land3/html/surnames.html (the surnames index)

This link will get you right to a family page:
